A dental crown provides a variety of restorative benefits. A crown can restore your tooth’s shape and functional strength, provide the surface portion of a dental implant, improve the overall appearance of a damaged tooth, protect your tooth from decay, restore a broken, cracked, or chipped tooth, and be used to secure a dental bridge.

From temporary to permanent

Your dental crown treatment will most often require two appointments. Your procedure begins with an examination and x-rays to accurately diagnose your tooth damage or tooth decay.

The remaining, healthy portion of your tooth structure will be prepared along with any preparation required by your adjoining teeth. This prep work is essential to assure that your crown will fit properly.
